Residential Real Estate

The growth of our real estate market is driven by our preferred location, amenities and services, natural features, overall affordability, and small town character. While home prices remain high in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), more and more buyers are looking to Brantford because of our affordability, our amenities, our proximity to major urban centres, and our attractive mix of housing options.

Money Sense Magazine recognized Brantford as the best place to buy real estate in Canada in 2018. The editors noted, “…Brantford has diversified its economy and thrived. Its low unemployment rate and affordable yet steadily rising housing prices pushed the city to the top spot in our annual ranking of the best places to buy property in Canada's major urban centres.”

The data below charts Brantford's real estate market in comparison to surrounding large cities. Housing here remains reasonable and accessible, particularly when compared to these markets. Much of the data featured is sourced from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) monthly National Price Map.
